New Monuments

In a house of disrepute, where I lose my mind

The trains were singing high over the blizzard and the pines

But there's no house on the corner, for there's no corner this time

Just a barely there woods through a tunnel of false lies.



I must be lost, I must be lost, I must be lost this time

Cause love, dear love, you know love's on my side

So find the mast through the trees in the marina of my life

Flags of my brothers and lovers I can't describe.



But in a house of disrepute, I kiss my own hand

Some barely there maiden makes a stand, makes a stand

But new birds have been winking and I dream of this land

Maybe L.A.'s new home for this man?



I must be lost, I must be lost, I must be lost in your vines

But love, dear love, you know love's on my side

And your lips are a wish, oh I wish of your lips

New stones in the garden, I admit, I admit and say so.



In a house of disrepute I lost my old man

Waves were riding high over the buildings and the sand

But new birds have been winking and I dream of your hand

I'm on drugs and there's a mirror but I don't need to stare.



I must be lost, I must be lost, I must be lost this time

Cause love, dear love, you know love's on my side

And your lips are a wish, oh I wish of your lips

New stones in the garden I admit, I admit and say so.
